PAGE 8-PLAINDFAlER--FRIDAY. JUNE 3, 1977 CANCER I Answeriline Amehc»i Cancer Society (Editor's NOte: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer society in cooperation with the McHenry county unit. Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer). A business executive writes "Recently I was treated for a prostate infection, and I want to know if that puts me at risk of getting cancer of the prostate0" • ANSWERline: There are various kinds of prostate disorders that are among the common disease problems of men above 50--and prostatitis is -one of them While none of ; these conditions (yours in­ cluded) cause cancer, a person who has had a benign prostate condition ran also develop cancer in the gland at a later date. Prostatis cancer occurs in older men What all this means tor you-and for any man in your age group-is that it is important to have regular physical checkups includi prostate examinations, and to see a physician if you notice any change in urinary habits. A reader asks: "Are there any new trends in cancer treatment?" ANSWERline: Yes. Many cancer specialists today believe that when cancer is first diagnosed and treated, microscopic beginnings of future advanced disease are present. Therefore, there is a trend towards giving chemotherapy with the initial treatment (surgery or radiation) as a preventive measure, rather than to wait to use drugs when cancer has become more advanced. Another 1970 s concept is to deal more thoroughly with the emotional and social well-being of the cancer patient and family The American Cancer society has many services and rehabilitation programs to help with the "human side of can­ cer." The ACS is also trying to make sure that a person who overcomes the hurdle of cancer- doesn't walk into a wall of job discrimination. The concept here is simple: survival alone is enough; the cancer patient has to be able to enjoy the years that hard-won meiical ad­ vances can brinfe A school teacher explains: "I am past the menopause, however, I have been noticing some bleeding, and I realize that I have to see a physician soon. But first. I would like to know what kind of examination to expect." ANSWERline: When ab­ normal bleeding occurs in a woman your» age. your physician will of course go over your medical history and do a pelvic examination and Pap smear. In addition, it may be necessary to do either a diagnostic curretage (which is an office procedure that t is seldom painful) to obtain a tissue sample for microscopic testing You are obviously aware that unusual bleeding is a signal that demands attention because of the possibility of cancer It will help your peace of mind-and perhaps save your life--to see a physician as soon as possible.
